"It comes in threes!"

It does! Three is possibly the worst number. Especially when it comes to bad luck. Or maybe just fate.

Christ. Can it possibly get any worse?! My guess is, yes.

For the past two weeks, my life has been at it's most eventful. I don't remember having a 'full' two weeks ever.

If you are/were a parent and you had a tiny, tiny argument over.. nothing. What would you do? Kick your daughter/son out, or just grit your teeth and cope with it? Heh, my mum can't seem to cope anymore. An argument = kicked out. It sucks. But I love her.
I kept saying out loud, "I hate you!". Screaming it every five seconds with some Car Crash music on the go, repeatedly. But then immediately afterwards, the "I love you" would follow. I can't say I hate you, it hurts to say it. Very superstitious, you see.

Maybe that's 1 of 3.

My grandmother dies. I never thought of her as my grandmother. She was just 'grandad's wife'. She died from sorosis of the liver. She drank her whole life, not stopping when the doctors told her to. Sounds so insensitive and cold, I know, but it was her own fault. She had choices. Even when it was early enough to stop. She could stop, which is obviously hard for someone who's been drinking their whole life, or just carry on the way she went and let her liver rot away. Everybody was angry at her. But there was still love.

Maybe that's 2 of 3.

My uncle has less than 48 hours to live. He has stomach cancer. Yesterday, the doctors were saying he might just see Christmas. But now, they say his liver has doubled it's size so they can't do chemo. I think that's how it works. So he has 48 hours.
My auntie is the one I feel sorry for. Having lost her mother, just one week ago, now finding out she has her husband lying on his death-bed. Her daughter suffering from something which I can never remember the name of, fluid on the brain.

And maybe that's 3 of 3.

And my little Lucy, the cat, she died. She ran away, like in the movies, to die alone. Bless her.
My little 1 year old cousin is having lung problems. He has to spend the rest of his life going to the hospital and have oxygen carried around with him 24/7 because he was born with his lungs down where his stomach was and his diaphragm where his lungs were supposed to be. He's a very lucky little man.

So within two weeks. One lady has died, another about to die, one little boy critically ill, Lucy has gone, and I'm having to live in a place not called home. But that's not worth moaning about compared to everything else.
But see, I'm looking forward to the future. I'm actually excited, which is hard to believe, about the things both sad and happy life is willing to throw at me. Bring it on!

And I'm healthy. Both mentally and physically. I have never been so appreciative and thankful in my life.

I just felt like getting that little bit of my mind.

Some are still refered to as hotlines though.

If it comes in threes, why did you mention five things?

And 0800 numbers aren't hotlines, they're freephone numbers.

I just wanna add that I think you're definately handling things very well... I admire the fact that you can go through all that and still be able to keep an eye out for the silver lining on the clouds, just remember, the more clouds there are the more silver lining there is...

Ok so that sounds poncy..:) but Ive found that a lot of things that have gone wrong in my life have turned out to be blessings in disguise -> provided the kind of positive attitude that you're displaying is applied...

Anyway Im still pretty dazed after last night (So ill SHUT UP)but i hope you soon find out what i mean...

No worries, hope you're ok.

Time for bed shortly I think. v.tired

I am sorry for your loss Borat. It now seems to make sense, what you wrote, how someone can actually be their own enemy. You are sense-man. Maybe that's something simple to understand, but not to me!

And I had no idea it was spelt like that! :s

But anytime you need to...ok.

Someone I know died from cirrhosis caused by the same thing. I know it can be hard to understand why people do it to themselves, but I guess a person can be their own worst enemy.

Anyway take care

Ok, you are stating how much you dislike drinking, I must warn you, I have been tonight.

Thank you Borat. That kind of opened my eyes a little. It's hard to understand what people find so addictive about it. I'm not a lover of the stuff, so I guess it is hard to understand. But thanks for that!

And Bloke, I'll be calling that number soon, so wait..
